Echidna washday. The Echidna was sighted in a stream bed with running water adjacent to ANBG’s Red Centre. It entered the water and spent several minutes soaking and scratching itself before emerging and continuing on its way. Not having seen this behaviour before, more images are included in previous sighting 4238386 to provide as much information to CNM as possible. Thanks to Marcus Leach for help with this sighting.
